That seems young to me.

I thought he was much older. RIP Gregg.

Strange. My husband & I were just in a record store yesterday, and bought an Allman Brothers album, after I was explaining to my husband the unusual lineup of the original band (2 lead guitarists, 2 drummers).

I went to an Allman Brothers concert once--about 15 years ago now--and it was great. I always loved what Gregg brought to the Allman Bros sound--such great organ work & a terrific voice.

One more great talent gone. RIP

CBS Sunday Morning reran an interview from several years ago with Gregg Allman. He tells the story about how he taught Duane to play the guitar & another about writing his song Melissa.

I hadn't read anything about Allman for the past couple years. I don't know if he ever did, but I always hoped he would work things out with Dickey Betts because the two of them playing together sure made one magical combination.
